>I run into the same problem a few days ago after using a powerful new icon editor (IconEdit Pro). Suddenly the icons didn't show-up in explorer anymore. Instead of my own icon, the fox head appeared. When I used one of the icons that shipped with VFP, everything worked ok. But when I opened the same icon with IconEdit Pro and saved it without having made any modifications, the icon didn't show-up anymore in explorer. I found the same information you and Sergej suggested to Randall on the Net. What I find strange is that the icon on its own shows-up in explorer. Is this an issue with VFP?

The only way I got this to work was by using the very old icon editor that shipped with VFP5 (Imagedit.exe). I found many references on the internet, but no place to download it. I had to restore an old backup to get this editor back. How do you guys create your icons. Am I missing something?

Daniel,

I tried IconEdit32, and didn't like it, because it had no facility to shrink the icon. So I tend to use Imagedit. I've tried to programmatically shrink an icon, but I'm missing a few "pieces". I did get as far as being able to combine icons, but not much farther.

There is an issue with VFP 6.0 and 256 color icons. I can't exactly remember the details, but it may be the reason behind the behavior you've experienced. I haven't tested it with VFP 7.0, so I don't know if this applies there or not. For that test, I used VC++ to create the icon file.
